Chapter Nineteen Treatment

  "What is that?" A casual turn of the head, and Bai Yujing caught sight of the strands of golden light in Nie Kong's palm.

  "Golden needle, picked up in the woods outside this afternoon." Nie Kong said casually.

  "Oh."

  Bai Yuke didn't suspect Nie Kong's interpretation at all.

  In this realm, many weapons were scattered around, just like the blunt knife that hurt her was picked up by Nie Qingyan. It's normal for Nie Kong to find a few golden needles. However, when White Jade saw Nie Kong holding a long golden needle close to her back, her face changed instantly. She twisted her upper body slightly, feeling pain and cold sweat on her forehead, furrowing her eyebrows and saying in a low voice: "What do you want to do? Are you going to treat my injury with this kind of thing?"

  Nie Kong nodded and said, "Not bad. This golden needle can be inserted into the body to very effectively help you stop bleeding and relieve pain. Of course, if you're afraid, you can also choose not to treat it, our transaction will end here, and your injury has nothing to do with me." Nie Kong's words were quite impolite.

  "You..."

  Bai Yuqing's eyes turned cold, but after a moment, she took a light breath, opened her eyes wide and stared intently at Nie Kong's right hand, gritting her teeth as she said, "Fine, go ahead and stab me. I'd like to see if it's really that amazing."

  Looking at her, Nie Kong secretly smiled. Although Bai Yuqing concealed it very well, Nie Kong still sensed that she was a bit apprehensive through those cold, piercing eyes, just like when Hua Mei looked at him sewing needles for the first time, and would always be slightly intimidated by such unfamiliar and strange techniques.

  In an instant, a streak of emerald green spiritual energy slid across the golden needle, and Nie Kong slowly stabbed downwards.

  As the sharp needle tip got closer and closer, Bai Yujing's back skin couldn't help but tremble slightly, her slender body tensed up like a piece of steel.

  "Relax!"

  Nie Kong furrowed his brow and said.

  Bai Yujing let out a cold snort, her eyes staring at Nie Kong. The two people's gazes clashed for a good while, until Bai Yujing finally shifted her gaze away, lightly exhaled, and tried not to think about the image of the golden needle piercing into her body, allowing her own body to relax.

  "Alright."

  A faint, almost imperceptible stinging sensation passed, and then a soft voice echoed in her ears. Bai Yujing strained to turn her head, only to see a needle hovering gently below her right shoulder blade.

  Although she couldn't see the whole situation behind her back, she could feel that at least half of the golden needle had pierced into her body. However, from start to finish, she didn't feel any discomfort. For a moment, Bai Yuke looked at Nie Kong's cold and icy eyes with a hint of surprise and incredulity.

  Nie Kong didn't notice her change in expression, his hands moving faster and faster as he dropped the golden needles. Soon, all nine golden needles had left his hand, sealing off the blood vessels around Bai Yuqings wound.

  At this time, Bai Yuqing found that the wound had stopped bleeding, and she was greatly shocked. Since being cut by Nie Qingyan's knife, although she had been using her spiritual power to stop the bleeding, a large amount of fresh blood had still flowed out, but unexpectedly, Nie Kong's nine needles had taken effect immediately.

  Nie Kong gently rubbed and pinched the heavenly array, while the remaining golden needles quivered slightly.

  In the human body, apart from the large circulation formed by the nine major hidden orifices such as Xin Hai and Yao Chi, there are countless small circulations that can be formed by other acupoints. Nie Kong has practiced the Nine Turns Golden Needle Technique for over 20 years, reaching a level of mastery where he can connect the nine golden needles inserted into any part of the body into one entity.

  Nowadays, the nine needles surrounding Bai Yuqing's wound form a small cycle of their own. When one needle moves, the other eight needles respond in harmony.

  Faintly, Bai Yuke felt a warm current circulating around the long and narrow wound on his back, just like soaking in a hot spring, so comfortable that it made him drowsy. How strange... Bai Yuke's mind only had time to flash these three words before he fell into a daze and fell asleep.

  After a while, Nie Kong's speed of pinching the Tian Zhen needle slowed down slightly, and his left palm suddenly had an extra small jade bottle. Some time ago, Nie Kong refined thirteen bottles of Hui Chun Lu, and in his opinion, the quality of this bottle was the worst, so he took it out to treat Bai Yuqing's knife wound.

  Huisheng Dew has no effect on Bai Yujing's cultivation, but it can be used to treat such injuries, and its effect is absolutely better than all first-class spiritual medicine.

  The bottle cap was opened, and a small amount of milky liquid dripped into the wound. Nie Kong's right hand moved faster as he pinched the needle, and a low humming noise suddenly echoed through the stone cave. The Rejuvenating Dew medicine also began to be absorbed by the muscles around Bai Yuqing's wound...

  ……

  "Uh-huh."

  She let out a comfortable sigh, and Bai Yuke's eyelids slightly opened. The bright light shot into her pupils, and her consciousness instantly cleared up. She pressed her palms lightly on the ground, and her slender body had already bounced up. In an instant, she scanned around with her eyes, seeing Nie Kong sitting cross-legged against the inner wall of the stone cave with his eyes closed, Bai Yuke let out a soft breath.

  Then, Bai Yujing looked down at herself and saw that her outfit was still the same as last night. The lower part of her pants were still on, but the upper part was still bare. After the intense jumping movement just now, the two full and plump mounds on her chest were still bouncing up and down, undulating like waves.

  Bai Yukei's face suddenly froze as she straightened up, and she hastily felt the back of her dress with her hand. Her eyes instantly revealed an irrepressible surprise: after one night had passed, the wound on her back was smooth and unblemished, without even a scar remaining, as if she had never been slashed by that dull knife the previous evening.

  "Are you awake?"

  Nie Kong opened his eyes.

  Bai Yuqing covered her chest with a hand, layer by layer, and looked at Nie Kong's eyes still icy cold, but the tone of voice was softer than last night: "You actually healed my severe injuries in just one night, you really didn't lie to me. However, you are very different from the spiritual medicine masters I have met before, those spiritual medicine masters would never use that thin golden needle to treat the injured."

  "I've said it before, I'm only half a spiritual pharmacist."

  Nie Kong smiled slightly.

  He himself was also very surprised, with Bai Yujing's injuries, even if he used spiritual medicine, it would take at least ten days to half a month to recover. But last night, after Jinzhen helped Bai Yujing fully absorb the medicinal properties of "Huishenglu", her wound began to heal and scab immediately, and in the end, not even leaving a scar behind. Nie Kong could only attribute this phenomenon that defied logic to this strange and mysterious life-and-death realm.

  After a pause, Nie Kong suddenly asked: "Bai sister, if it's convenient for you, can you tell me how you found this stone cave?"

  Bai Yuqing ignored the nickname "White Sister" and put on that robe, saying in a flat tone: "I've been here since I entered this cave. You were able to find this place, quite lucky."

  "That's good."

  Nie Kong put his mind at ease, he was originally worried that there would be obvious flaws outside that could easily be discovered. After listening to Bai Yuqing's explanation, he went one worry less and said, "Now it's already daylight, you can go out to find food, best prepare enough for a day or two."

  Bai Yuqiong's delicate eyebrows rose in a challenge, her pretty face still bearing a hint of childishness, suddenly fell. She was very dissatisfied with Nie Kong's tone, which seemed to be ordering her around. However, she ultimately didn't blow up and instead tied her belt, saying coldly, "You can rest assured, I won't go back on my word since I've agreed to this deal."

  After finishing speaking, Bai Yuke let out a cold hum from her nose and quickly walked to the entrance. She carefully pried open the closed gap, and indeed, outside was already bright daylight.

  Nie Kong's eyelids flipped once, and his eyes closed again, clearing his mind, focusing his spirit, continuing to circulate the "Five Stars Shift Technique", absorbing the medicinal fragrance emanating from the stone wall behind him...
